Roland Foods Kadota Figs in Light Syrup, Specialty Imported Food, 6.83 Pound Can, Pack of 1

My mother used to buy figs similar to these at the grocery store. They were terribly expensive and didn't last long with a family of five. My dad used to eat them for breakfast with toast and LOVED them. For some reason, grocery stores stopped carrying them, probably because they weren't big sellers. When I saw these I pondered if they would taste the same since you have many different companies on Amazon selling them but all of them just a little bit different. Most are in heavy syrup, which isn't what I was looking for. I didn't find a smaller container with the light syrup so I bought these. They came in a very large can, which it states on the side that you should take them out and repackage them, which I did and put them in the refrigerator. I used glass jars. My husband and I waited until the next day to try them and they were exactly the same as what I had grown up with. BOOM!! I'm thankful I bought them, and will buy them again.

The product is/was very tasty. The can was so dented that it was almost impossible to get open.

[[ASIN:B000V7710O Roland Kadota Figs in Light Syrup, 6 Pound, 6-Ounce Can]I was looking for Oregon figs & couldn't find them anymore anywhere. When I found a link for these from Roland, I took a chance. I'm a happy shopper!! Small, naturally sweet, easy to cook with or pop 'em right out of the can! Six pounds is a LOT of figs & I worried I wouldn't be able to eat them all before they spoiled, but I've been enjoying them for several weeks now & they're still as good as the day they arrived (keep refrigerated). If you're a long-time fig connoisseur such as I, or just looking for a new fruit to add flavor & variety to your diet, I can recommend these wholeheartedly. These are not dried so they have zero calories in fat, no cholesterol or sodium, plus Kadota figs add protein and fiber to your diet, as well as Vitamins A & C. Great for breakfast, lunch packs (thank goodness for zipper bags), or in any one of a myriad dessert concoctions. Hope you enjoy them as well as my grandkids and I do! PS - the price is well within the reach of even my fixed budget! Thanks, Roland! and Amazon.

I had been looking for Kadota figs which my husband had enjoyed in his earlier years and thought this would be the perfect surprise for him. The surprise ended up being on me as I received the can of figs in a box in perfect condition, but the can had a deep dent right in the middle. Upon opening it, the figs were a mushy mess in a brown liquid, and entirely disgusting. My husband threw it in the trash and told me to never order on line again. AS THE BOX WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION, BUT THE CAN SEVERLY DENTED, IT WAS PACKAGED BY SOMEONE IN THIS CONDITION, AND SHAME ON THEM. A LESSON TO BE LEARNED, DON'T BUY FOOD ON LINE. I AM ASHAMED THAT SOMETHING COMING FROM THE AMAZON NAME WAS IN SUCH A DEPLORABLE STATE. UNFORTUNATELY I DID NOT HAVE THE PRODUCT TO RETURN.

The package arrived as expected. The can was in good shape, however, the figs tasted awful. I had to throw them all away. Perhaps they're a different kind of figs than what I was expecting.

These figs are excellent, firm and sweet. I found the figs sold on Amazon in the smaller cans in a 6 pack rather mushy, tho no doubt it is a matter of taste and some may prefer a soft fig. Since I only eat a few at a time, I transfer the big can's contents into two smaller containers and refrigerate them.One thing tho, these cans are enormous and very heavy. Don't order them with anything else in the same order or they'll crush the other items - even books may be damaged. And the cartons are really not strong enough -they usually arrive in pretty bad shape tho the cans themselves have never been damaged. But great figs tho and worth it.

Good, but I wish this was available in a smaller quantity. Six pounds of canned figs is a lot. I put some in the freezer.

Absolutely the best thing next to eating fresh figs. Great at any time of day or night. Totally delicious!
